'A book I would like to have beside me as I grow old to remind me of what's
important in life and what is not' Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl

I remember my dreams but not where they start.
Further back, I recall some of yesterday and the day before that. Then
everything goes into a haze.
Fragments of memories come looming back like red London buses in a pea-souper.
Time plays funny tricks these days.
I wait for the next memory. I wait and I wait.

At 117 years old, Billy Binns is the oldest man in Europe and he knows his
time is almost up. But Billy has a final wish: he wants to remember what love
feels like one last time. As he looks back at the relationships that have
shaped his flawed life - and the events that shaped the century - he recalls a
life full of hope, mistakes, heartbreak and, above all, love.
